NEC a big success

NEC-stand

Boy, the NEC show was massive this year.  Bob and myself were completely worn out, checking out everything there was to look at.  The Model A Club of GB did not have a huge stand this year, but I was pleased to have our 29 Phaeton on the stand.

New Headlamp Reflectors

A-13025-CBR-ll

We have just had our first delivery of the newly re-tooled headlamp reflectors for the Model A Ford.  This has been a two year programme of development by one of the major USA Model A parts suppliers.

 

With the forthcoming return drive from the NEC in mind, we are going to fit some the our 29 phaeton.  The dark autumn night should be a good test for our feeble 6v headlamps, so I will let you know how we get on. http://www.oneillvintageford.co.uk/acatalog/Ford_Model_A_Headlights.html

NEC Classic car show this weekend

 See  our 1929 Ford Model A Phaeton

phaeton-0538

This weekend sees the annual classic car show at the NEC.  Last year saw one of the biggest shows ever, so expect the same this year.
We have been asked by the Model A Ford Club GB, to exibit our 1929 model A Phaeton on the MAFCGB stand, which we are honoured to oblige, although the weather is not looking too promising for the drive down there.  Oh well, it looks like we will be bringing the buckets and sponges, together with plenty of polishing materials.
